Tonex - Hotone Ampero Stage II Pedalboard Rig Rundown

[@markshrader7136]

Hi Fabian, wanted to give you major kudos for this video! Excellent content, great playing, thoughtful considerations for the why in our sound designs... Really well done! It's interesting, I came to check out your Ampero and Tonex blend, then find you are using the Steve Lukather OD as well, which I have been researching also! Fun coincidence. I believe it is a very underrated pedal. Saw the comment recommending the QC, but I have one and your kit here is a serious cut above what I've been using so far live. I just now acquired a Tonex and am on the amp hunt, and loving your base sounds. My goal is very similar to what you've achieved as far as splitting off the amp, the post fx and real pre-fx pedals. Would you be so kind to share your source for the Tonex amps you are using? I'll be rewatching this a few times so I can really get the gist of your awesome setup. Again, sounds so good! You've got a new fan and subscriber for sure. Thanks so much for sharing! -Mark

@@markshrader7136 hey Mark! Thanks so much for the kind words! Really appreciate it ! I love this setup so much and it’s also very flexible what I like a lot!

@@FabianRatsakGuitar Hey Fabian, have you had any challenges with differences between computer Tonex and pedal Tonex? I definitely am... wondering if you have any tricks?

My stage 2 come some days ago. I.m still reading the manual several times and learning how to use it. Apart from learning how to create presets for each song (cover band) I need to know how to properly assign the functions to each switch. My idea is to make a preset for each song with different type scenes (verse, chorus, solo) and on the other hand have clean, cruch, just.... That is, if I create a preset and use the scenes, when changing to the stomp mode of the same preset, can different functions be assigned depending on which mode we are in? I don't know if I have explained myself. and something important. Can the volumes of all the presets be regulated/equal? so that there are no differences when changing preset/song. and how is that done? And how are the input and output volumes adjusted correctly? Should they both be at 50%? because if I have the input at 100, if I go over 40 at the output, it already engages. What would be the appropriate level, and how should we adjust the digital table that we use for the checkouts? I hope you can answer everything. thank you so much

Thank you Fabian. So the ampero can send midi signals to the Tonex (to change the presets on the Tonex)??

[@FabianRatsakGuitar]

Thank you! Yes, I am using it that way…I explain it in the video how 🙂 cheers

Thanks dude! i did check out the QC, its a cool product but for captures the tonex does a more authenthic job to my ears :) also the effects on the QC are nice ...anyhow for my ears i like the Ampero II stage more...with one exception which is the Pitch shifter ...that sounds and functions phenomenal on the QC ...on the Ampero its....not the best :D but i dont need it anyway...and who knows maybe there will be some updates...cheers
